Description
Once #4412 lands it would be nice to transform all call of the form
```
self.add_parameter(name="foo", ...)
```
to
```
self.foo = self._add_parameter(name="foo" ....)
"""
Parameter foo
"""
```
So that parameters are documented, and completion works as expected.
Investigate how much effort it would take to do this using ast or similar.

Research direction

Compare Python AST or similar rewriting approaches, using the linked Stack Overflow example for context. Done means documenting whether the mass transformation is feasible, its effort, and any scope or limitations.
